ADVICE

Playing Ball Above Your Feet

  • When the ball is above your feet, choke down on the club and let it naturally slide into your hands to match the lie.
  • Align your body to expect a draw; don't fight the lie's tendency to send the ball left for right-handed golfers.
ADVICE

Mastering Ball Below Your Feet

  • Close the clubface at address on ball below your feet lies to better match the slope and reduce left to right misses.
  • Squat down more with weight on heels and lean upper body forward to maintain balance and achieve a steeper swing plane.
ADVICE

Tackling Downhill Lies

  • For downhill lies, accept a lower ball flight and increase loft by using a longer club than normal.
  • Position more weight on your front foot and open your left foot slightly to maintain stability and control the swing plane.
